Follow-up to “What would you like to see made?”


Recommended Posts

I wanted to let DirtModeler and others know that I’m working on a number of drag-oriented parts and/or packages that are available. I don’t have tons of stuff made up ahead, but hopefully enough to make a start. Several are multi-media, with an emphasis on PE, resin and SS. At this point, everything is 1/25th scale. Most pieces were developed to supplement my Fairmont pro stock body and floor pan and are geared toward late-70s to early 80s vintage pro stock, though there are some modern pieces. I must confess this a more than a bit unnerving announcing to the world that I’ve got stuff available. I was never in the Boyscouts, but was still raised to “be prepared.” Of course it’s tough to know how to plan for demand, especially niche parts like much of my stuff. For the moment, feel free to contact me off the forum. I'll get prices, etc., to you then. I’m working on my website, but I’m not quite ready to “go public” yet.

Packages include:

351C pro stock engine w/Lenco trans (current engine doesn't include motor plate). Pic was for mockup purposes.

PE Lenco lever/link tube set (pictured on my revised Lenco trans)

PE 4-link set, w/.050” SS link tubes (rough cut). These are also designed to fit the Revell Pro Sportsman kit chassis/rear end. Mockup pic of my Fairmont…

Narrowed/braced OEM-style 9-inch Ford (6 pcs) that accommodates the above 4-link. It can be purchased housing only (6 pcs), or with PE caliper brackets and rotors, and resin calipers. Pic is completely outfitted rear end

I think we'll be in good shape. The only areas we share would be the 4-link suspension mounts. Ours look sufficiently different to give the customers a choice for a different look.

The main area i'll be in will be wheels and beadlocks, and I won't be doing any resin stuff that i know of besides the wheel rims.

WOW !!

Scott, between you and Michael, you guys are serving up some delicious entrees for us drag builders.... :wub:

I'm gonna have to get back down to 1/25 scale if you's keep this kinda thing up. :)

Unless of course, some 1/16, or even....dare I say, 1/12 stuff rolls along....... :D
